Yes. My first attempts were all backing it up and restoring within the same site. I've also tried on my dev site on the same server with identical plugins (a few slightly older versions though) and a brand new clean/no plugin version also.
Our new semester workflow is:
- Move all the old used courses to an Archived Courses category and hide them from students.
- Use backup to make a copy of the old course without any user data.
- Restore the backup to make the new fresh clean course that can be edited away.
